Default How not to install crappy LED's

http://forums.probetalk.com/showthread.php?t=1701300629


Quote:
How do we make this failure worse? The plate installer missed his mark FIVE times, making for a total of SEVEN holes in the ECU!


It gets worse. Two of the holes went through the ECU plugs which have ~30 wires each and are now destroyed so now it will need a main harness. And its worse than that. Oh yes, theres more! Remember the hydrocked motor? These motors have been known to bend rods when trying to crank over while hydrolocked. So the motor may be dead now as well which will no doubt total this bike. All this because someone wanted to move their license plate...
Great pictures in the link

I wonder if I know that guy that posted it. That username isn't familiar on the local boards. I wonder if he works at that squidtastic kawasucki dealership in Alcoa.

I wouldn't trust them to fix that bike either. Seen similar stories of fuck ups from them. Wouldn't be surprised if it was them.
